Nothing catches my eye like a rad art piece. Rose Wong’s contribution to the Cravings group art show at the Grumpy Bert in Brooklyn, was a 4″ x6″ illustration called “Close”. And for only a $100, you can score this one-of-a-kind artist original graphite and acrylic drawing on mylar paper. Plus this piece comes pre-framed so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy! Wong, a Brooklyn-based artist and graduate from the Pratt Institute, has a knack for combining organic and geometric designs in a minimalist way. For more information on the artist, take a look at her profile for Grumpy Bert. If you love art as much as me, you need to check out Rose Wong’s illustration “Close” and all of the other rad art pieces on the Grumpy Bert’s corner.

One of the nicest things about transitioning into the warmer period of the year is the shared eagerness of friends and family to spend a majority of their time outside. I don’t know about you, but I find lawn games to be genuinely one of the best pastimes. What makes them even better? If you get your hands a bit dirty and build the games yourself. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to crafting! …

With an average 300 days of sunshine per year here in Austin, Texas, it’s no wonder people in this city start to lose their minds during those rare-but-still-depressing multi-day stretches of cold, rainy, grey weather.
